Lifecentre is able to offer face to face counselling and telephone helpline services to all survivors of any form of sexual abuse, past or present. Children aged 10yrs and under are offered play therapy. This includes all sexual offences defined by the 2003 Sexual Offences Act, including non touch based sexually abusive experiences. This service is offered on a non- discriminatory basis irrespective of race, gender, age, disability, religion or sexual orientation. 

Lifecentre offers an Initial Assessment interview with new clients in order to assess the suitability of the client to the service, and to agree a framework within which the client and counsellor will work. At completion of the Initial Assessment interview, clients who wish to start counselling with Lifecentre are given and asked to sign agreement to a contract of counselling.

Lifecentre offers a time-limited service of 18 hour-long counselling sessions spread over one year. We find it works well to see clients weekly for the first 12 weeks of counselling. After that, you will be encouraged to come once a fortnight for the next 6 sessions. Some clients decide that they want fewer than 18 sessions which is absolutely fine too.
